Default another noise thread

Alright, I have been searching forums far and wide but I cant get any usefull info. A pretty loud clicking noise coming from my head. I adjusted the valves and a few were a little out of adjustment but not much. But no change in the noise. I read in another forum about bad plug wires grounding out on the valve cover. My wires were old anyways so I changed them and that wasnt it either. I also read about alternator bearings going out. I disconected my alternator. Nothing. Tried new injectors too. Nothing. The only other thing I could think of (maybe) is my oil pump is getting old and not giving my valve train proper lubrication. I am leaning toward this because when my engine is cold and I start it up the first couple of seconds the ticking is realy loud. Almost as if the oil pump needs time to prime? Hell I dont know. Anyways I have a first gen b16 in my 91 Integra and if anyone could shed some light on this situation it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Eric
